The scope and content of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 1997

The author of the article argues that constitutions are written in a well-thought-out manner, in view of the scope of matters to be considered, their subjective content, particular sequence and internal composition. Constitutional issues mostly reflect general experiences of a number of countries, but also unique solutions of the country’s own historical experience. The Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 1997 is an act founded, in principle, on liberal-democratic philosophy which takes into account experiences from systemic transformation since 1989, and reflecting political and axiological compromises made during the preparation thereof. In the conclusion, the author finds, above all, that the Constitution meets the current standards of European constitutional law. Apart from some deficiencies mentioned in the article, the author does not find need for any considerable modification or supplement, unless a substantial change is to be made in the philosophy of political system on which it is framed
